OZIAS HUMPHRY, Esa.-1t is with much regret that we - announce the death of this Gentleman. He died on Friday morning at his residence in Thorn !laugh-Street. As an artist he possessed great genius, which he improved by _the.utmost iissiduity, • and an attentive study of the leest models. He first _mile forward in the department of miniature, in whit h be displayed ati extraordinary degree of skill anci e taste, and,indeed was considered as at the head oftliat provinceeol - the Arts. The road to atlitien:e' ' was then open to him, but he preferred the reputa tion of excellence, io a liiilier deparonent, to- the pecuniary success which might attend him in a pursuit whicli be e justly consideted as•heneath his ; talents, and went to Italy for the purpose of pre, paringlairaself . for the province of, historical paint. -ing, 'He yemaiued , some time at Rome, where he • made exqeiSite copies IrOrn the greater masters,: and produced otiginal works of conside:able merit., He then returned to this country, and had hill rear son for sclieving that -he- should obtain that dis. tittele)n and celebrity in the higher, order of - pore trait painting,. and on. historical subjects, which he ,had ,so deservedly ecqpired in the province that he had eelinquishede but the ground had been in -EU .onsid(s:rable degree Pre-occupied, by the in . lame of Sir ,Josilu4 )11;:rtiotms, the great father, of modern art; and by _other Men of talents, who . had started .up- during his ab sence ; and- though a enan of , sudh genius as „Hem F Hit Y. possessed, would, doubtless, soon have reached, his proper height. in prolesiienal re pute, he either did not think it worth his while to enter into a contention, or conceived that he should soon obtain an independence where he could exert his talents without the toil of competition. He . therefore went to the East Indies, and • soon dbquir ed, if not affluence, a competency for the remainder of his, life. Ott his.retgrn to this country, he was unhappily attacked by a disorder in, his eyes, which seemed ,to baffle all attempts to relieve it, and Wig- eel him to give anew direeliou 4:1 :his talents, • and . which .he could practise with less exertion of his vicaal organs..

B. STRACILIMS Observations en the Earl of CHA ra Ant's Statement of his . Proceedings, dated October is, presznted to the King Fe bruary 14. Londnn, 1144tch 5, 28 to, Upon the first point to which Lord Chaiharn in his Narrative 'has called his Majesty's attention," namely, " the ground upon which, atter'tbe army was at length assembled near Bathz, -a landing in proSecution.of the ulterior objects of the Expedition was not deemed advisable," it would be impropet for me to make any observations, because the rea sons which are said to have rendered it " clear and .evident that no further operations could at that shill , : be undertaken with any prospect of success,",were such as I was not competent to appreciate and thea-e , - fore I did not presume to discuss. Not being aware from my own observations that further success was unattainable, I ventured to offer the ibllest assistance and co-operation of the naval armament under my commend in any ulterior mea sures which might be deemed. advisable,.and I trust that in making this offer, I shall not be thought to have been guided by a too forward arid indiscreet zeal, rather than by a due sense of my professional duty. _ _ Upon the second point, namely, " Why the. aruay„ was not sootier assembled at Batheto reicommence further operations," I feel confident that I shall have no difficulty in proving, in dired contradidion to the . assertion of. Lord Chatham's Statement, that the de lay did in uo shape rest with me or depend upon any -arrangements in which the navy was exclusively con cerned, but that on the contrary -every facility was afforded by the navy towards accelerating the move ments of the army, and every exertion Wed by all those wider my command, in the various and com plicated services entrusted to them: I have in vain endeavOured to ascertain the foun• dation upon which the asserdon rests, that it " was distin&ly agreed upon that a.vigorous attack by the navy upon, the sea front should be nude al The same time that the troops atter effeding their landing ad.' weed to invest - FlnShing, it being hoped that by S powerful ,co-operation from the sea at the moment - the troops presented themselves Wore the Oace,the labour and delay of a regular siege might have been avoided." I cannot find any instruttions, orders, letters, or communications, either previous to our de. parture from the Downs or subsequent, all u di ng to any such agreement-, and can have no difficulty, not merely in asserting that no such agreement was made, but from, the nature of the thing itselt, it is quite jmpossible that sny such agreement could-have been made. It certainly was inr contemplation, if the enemy' o fleet had _remained in the lower part of the river, more particularly in the vicinity of Flushing, to have pushed a'fleet of line of battle ships MO the Scheldt to attack •them, and a squadron fox that put , pose; among other objects, was ready under the.' orders of Lied Gardner. With that squadron I in' tended to have proceeded to - the attack of the enel my's fleet, if it had not retreated up the river helot: the armament arrived on the coast of. Zealand. It was also in micontemplation means 0 1 that spiathen to co-operate *all the army in aol attack upon Flushing, wherein the assistance of the navy fillbuld be thowtht desirable. This is proved by my 4ders to Lord G ardner thet ttith and 2otil of filly „. but it is so far from being true. that thti view of mine was the result of any agreement pre" concerted with Lord 'Chatham, as the statement, seems to imply, that the first spontaneous offer 0 such co-operation on my part Was passed by with' , out any immediate notice by his Lordship. This over was contained in my letter of• tbe ath of AP' gust, to which I shall shortly have occasion to allude' For particulars of the co-operation and assistar o as ally afforded them by the navy in the cow' Mencement of our operations, I may refer to. last paragraph of Lord Chathain's dispatph of 0" August (No. 1, 'Military Letter 8.,j, In answer to the imputation of misconduct thrinv i i upon file for not hlving realized the hope, ", by a powerful eta-operation from the sea at the 11 1 ‘ ) ; Meat the troops presented themselves before th place, the labour and delay of a, regular . 31; might have been avoided, it is perhaps sufficient to state that such a hope must appear chimerical; e S , cept upon one or two. suppOsitiotts. ;f the:Cett wed wander in Chief, frbm a conviction th at th e WWI of Flushing on the land-side wer e eith er t oo Pl e " ' or too extensive,' or manned by a g arr i son t o oinao „ quate to resist 'a sudden and general assault, had P posed a simultaneous attack from the line of bat h ships ; our fite'migitt certainly have contributed to t s ' success of such a-proje c t ;. b u t an enter p r i ze s o dr" perate as this, under the well-ascertained drawl; stances of the fortress and garrison, can n ever ha' 'been for a moment in contemplation. • * If for the purpose of ,sparing to his army the IV hour and delay of a regular siege, the C o mmand in Chief had wished to make his attack o n the setl ; front, to embark the assailing army in the boats 0 1 : the fleet, and to land them under th e pr o teoion our ships of thellite, I peed only say that I WS , perfeliy ready to share the hazards o f su ch an 0 1 • tack, and that - the - ships were prepared for the se vice. It could ant be for me to suggest such a me , sure, which of course rnu-t origi n at e w i t h t h e Con'; rnander 'in Chief, to whom, howe ver , j thought i my duty . to state, in my letter :of 'the Bth of Aug (Minutes' 'of Evideme, p. 1604 my readiness,_ d i " ast under 'a previous concert for co-opeirat with the army in such a plan ol a t t ac k as might ancil lerate thesurrender of Flushing." 4 But such a proposal, in point of fa&, wa s Made, tome, from whence I Must conclude, that t , was pot thought to'offer'any ratidaal proapea of sa y quate advantage. A conc e rted and. combined ' 4 ,0 tack, it should seem, was thought hopeless OP,j ; the land batteries should be in a condition to n y h 'e but that a " Ogorous attack by the navy upon 'l O ' rsea front, an auack undertaken at the moment i lk troops presented themselves bc "Ore the plat{ have. afforded reasonable 'grounds of hope ; althots . it is evident that in this case the enemy, after shutting their gates against the army, whose n i t s quetry unassisted by great guns could have done lit 4 mischief to• the garrison, would h ave direaed tb`d whale fire against us, and having crippled a' par t n o , our fleet , could have been still a bl e to i mpose tiP eur-troeps the &Lour and delay of a regular siea~' 4i I will not advert to the charges and insinuat r in relatidn to my condiia, in having failed " in r,v forrnance of al assurance that th e whole ' • F., .•: i "~ \ p ;. t
